    The Hackney Children & Baby Bank supports families in need in Hackney and surrounding areas by providing essential items for babies and primary school age children from donated items and funds raised. We provide clothes, shoes, toys, nappies, toiletries, buggies, cots and other baby equipment, as well as advice and support and signposting to other local services.
    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
    • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently

    Financial issues to consider:

    • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
